Name: Elliot Gray
Clan: Brujah
Sire: Ripley "Rip" Jackson
Profession: Former Homocide Detective
Age: 27
Nature: Loner
Demeanor: Director/Curmudgeon
Description: At 6'3" Elliot portrays a physically imposing figure that he uses to intimidate suspects into confessions. He dresses casually, preferring a dark pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a leather jacket. Dark hair frames strong angular features and dark eyes that soften only when he cracks the occasional smile. A stint in the marines left him with a few scars, mentally and physically, and a USMC tattoo on his forearm.
Background: Elliot came from a large family, oldest of four boys; he followed in his father's footsteps in becoming a police officer. After a few years in the marines he joined the police force. He's always been a cold and distant, preferring to focus on the job than allow anyone to get too close. The largest presence in his life had always been his father, a stern man, who imposed both awe and fear in his children. Physically abusive at times Elliot often bore the brunt of his anger and learned early in his life to be tough, and cold, to never show weakness.
It has made him a good cop but a lousy boyfriend as proof in a long string of failed relationships. The last being the most devastating after his girlfriend miscarried an unplanned pregnancy. Elliot has since kept most at bay unwilling to get that close to anyone and he’s also had to come to gripes with his own confusing sexuality something he’s avoided for much of his life.
Focusing on his job, almost to the point of obsession, he none-the-less boasts a 97% closing rate on his cases. Refusing to give up on any case he’s been cited a few times for becoming too aggressive with suspects. Despite often adopting a my way or the highway approach to his job Elliot's still show remarkable empathy towards his victims often bending the rules to save a life.
Elliot has recently been turned into a vampire. Adjustment to his new unlife hasn't been easy and each nice is a struggle he endures with his sire, Ripley, perhaps the only creature that keeps him from defying nature and slipping out into the sun ...
Abilities: Basic Combat training he received both in the marines and when he become a cop. Elliots knows how to use a good, or just duke it out with someone hand to hand. He's obviously good at sniffing out mysteries since he's a detective. He also has a few good contacts on the street and higher up.
Disciplines: Just learning ...
